Champions That Need Physical Reworks

It kind of hit me recently that there's a lot of champions in the game whose in-game sprites look very outdated and dull compared to models and animations from champions like Zoe Zoe, Rakan Rakan & Xayah Xayah, or Evelynn Evelynn. And I can sort of understand it, Riot obviously wants to promote and upgrade champs that people somewhat played as, with full reworks like Taric Taric and Evelynn Eve. I just find it funny how goofy Ezreal Ezreal, Nunu Nunu, and Pantheon Pantheon look in the game when they stand next to the other, well rendered models. (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/7e/Ezreal_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20141111175517) Ez be lookin like a homeless man. a grouchy peanut face. Maybe flashing out his color palette, and reanimating his face entirely, would make him more... Attractive. Afterall he is the League's most 'handsome' and beloved boy. (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/4/41/Pantheon_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20170922150612) Pantheon has exaggerated limbs. Why are his feet the size of his thigh. His model is so clunky and stiff that the poor guy can't even have a dance animation. :(

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/2/2d/Nunu_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20170921034247) But like, then there's Nunu. A champion that even according to official statistics is the most unpopular, background, picked-by-nobody, champion. And it's pretty sad. He was the first tank in the game, and I think he should get more privilage for that. Instead, he probably has the ugliest in-game model in the entire game. I can see that Riot keeps trying to suggest playing him with each patch and update, whenever I look at the patch notes I see his sad little buffs and then nerfs. Of course, someone is going to say ''Well I main Nunu! He's the only champ I play as! Mastery level 100!''. and that's good for you. He's a fine champion. His ult is kinda meh. The story of a little boy that tamed the Yeti is pretty sweet. He, and all of his skins beside Zombie, just look sad.

-What do you think though? Are there any other game models that look expired? Do you disagree? Let me know~

Pantheon and Nunu are VGU candidates but Ezreal just needs a visual and VO update.

OLAF.Olaf

I love playing Olaf, but without his SKT skin (And maybe Marauder)...........he looks like crud.

I feel they should just keep that recent pro skin on the market, because it's sort of a VU for him.

It would be nice to see an Ez kit that actually synergies for once, and a Pantheon kit that just doesn't ignore damage every couple of seconds, and an actually playable version of Nunu.

My concern is that Riot won't graphically update champions if they don't need major gameplay overhaul to go with the graphical work. Many champions who were updated through roster updates have old graphics but decent gameplay. These characters will most likely remain "ugly" until Riot deems their gameplay lacking enough for them to receive a VGU... and that's gonna take a long time considering there's a bunch of old champions on the VGU list already.

I hope they continue doing VU, VO and splash updates, we can't wait for each champion to get their VGU, it would take too long, and many of champions are in a good state gameplay wise.

So Riot please, update models like you did with Zyra, her model is perfect now !

Nunu

Do have to elaborate?

Nunu really needs to be next for the VU chopping block. His model hasnt change since the game was made.
